The Iraqi Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) said Tuesday there will be no voting in parts of Iraq's western Sunni province of Anbar due to clashes between security forces and militant groups.

"The commission cannot enter its employees, voting supplies and other logistics in unstable areas," Muqdad al-Sharifi, the IHEC chief electoral officer told press conference in Baghdad, referring to the provincial capital city of Ramadi, Fallujah city and some nearby towns and villages.

He said that voting will be normal in other safe parts of the province, while the displaced families by the fighting will be allowed to vote in 37 polling centers is the safe parts of the province.

"There are also displaced families in 12 to 14 provinces across the country, we have reached them out and will open 45 polling centers for them to vote," al-Sharifi said.

Anbar province has been the scene of fierce clashes that flared up after Iraqi police dismantled an anti-government protest site outside Ramadi in late December last year.

The ongoing battles in Anbar's major Sunni cities of Ramadi and Fallujah are only a few weeks before the landmark parliamentary elections on April 30, which is the first in the country since the withdrawal of US troops in late 2011.
